About this map

Huntersville State Forest dominates the southern half of this 1970s landscape, where the Shell River meanders eastward to its confluence with the Crow Wing River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes, including the large Duck Lake and a string of bodies such as Third Crow Wing Lake and Second Crow Wing Lake along the eastern boundary.

Evidence of local history and recreation is scattered throughout the township lines of Hubbard and Wadena Counties. Genealogists may find interest in the Hubbard Cem located in the northwest, or the Shell City Cem and adjacent Shell City Campground near the riverbanks. The small settlement of Huntersville sits at a junction in the southeast, serving as a gateway to the wooded tracts and the various water bodies like Finn Lake and Palmer Lake that characterize this portion of northern Minnesota.
